HC Deb 08 May 1972 vol 836 c252W
41. Mr. Kenneth Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will take steps to encourage industry in Rutland, so that the employees dismissed from Woodall Duckman's factory, Oakham, will have improved opportunities for finding employment.

Mr. Anthony Grant:

I am confident that as the expansionary measures announced by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer in his Budget Statement take effect, wider opportunities for employment will arise in Oakham.
